Accessories: A Jaguar for your wrist, and other watches to rev your engine
The same urge we get to buy a fancy car makes us salivate over 200-component mechanical timekeepers. Here are five to rev your engines. By Stephen Pulvirent
AUTODROMO GROUP B
$925; autodromo.com
Group B was an early-1980s racing phenomenon— like Nascar but faster and a lot more dangerous. The Autodromo has the same souped-up look, reckless bravado not included.
OMEGA SEAMASTER BULLHEAD
$9,600; omegawatches.com
Created with actual drivers in mind, bullhead chronographs put the stopwatch buttons on top for easier access at the wheel.
BREMONT JAGUAR MKIII
$4,850; bremont.com
If you can’t have a Jag in your garage, settle for one on your wrist.
TAG HEUER CARRERA CALIBRE 18
$5,450; tagheuer.com
Based on the company’s earliest racing watches, this redesign has a compact face and sleek vintage styling.
BAUME & MERCIER CAPELAND SHELBY COBRA
$4,450; baume-et-mercier.com
Like its namesake, a tiny British sports car with a big Ford engine, this Swiss timepiece puts maximal function into a minimal package.
